Spare Thy people, Lord, we pray,
By a thousand snares surrounded;
Keep us without sin today,
Never let us be confounded.
Lo, I put my trust in Thee;
Never, Lord, abandon me.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your daily protection of my body and soul. Give me strength each day through Your Word, and protect all those who suffer persecution for their faith in You. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
